What about exploding e-cigarettes?

The news that a man was injured when an e-cigarette exploded in his mouth (Feb. 2012) neglected to mention a few key facts:

The type of e cigarette he was using was NOT the typical e cigarette battery such as the 510 battery sold by Vaping Vamps.

The type of battery he was using was a so-called "mod" battery: a metal tube mod with two batteries inserted for high voltage. This is a completely different "loose" battery design that may not have the same safety features as the sealed battery design used by Vaping Vamps and most other e cigarette companies.

The 510 e cigarette battery sold by Vaping Vamps and regular e-cigarette batteries are NOT affected or prone to anything other than eventually running out of juice. Your battery is safe and will last for many months.
